Wowhead's Artist's Corner and Giveaway - DCMJS

\r\r\r\r\r\rWelcome to the latest installment of Wowhead's Artist's Corner! Here at Wowhead we love art - drawing, painting, sculpting, woodworking, metalworking, jewelry making, papercrafting, badge making, everything under the sun.\r\rIn an effort to share what our wonderful community does, every month we will feature an artist and their craft. This article will feature a small description about themselves so that you can get to know them just a bit, show off their art, and learn more about what they do. And of course, there will be a special giveaway for one of their items.\r\r\rThis month we will be featuring:\r\r\r\rWe spoke with DCMJS and asked him to tell us a little about himself. \r\rHey my name is Matt \u2014 aka DCMJS (dc is my hood, mjs is my name) \u2014 I\u2019m also \/u\/nykana on reddit. I\u2019m a creative director and web\/ux\/ui designer based on the east coast. In my spare time I design fun art.\r\rI started playing WoW during WotLK after my brother showed me the Leeroy Jenkins video on YouTube. Since then I've lived vicariously through my Holy Paladin, and eventually my Mistweaver Monk when MoP came around. I absolutely love the taxonomy of the classes and specs. There's something so organizationally satisfying about everyone having their own role, kind of like the Power Rangers or the Avengers. I love to casually raid (a bit tricky now with 2 young kids) and would like to give a shout out to The Instance podcast crew, who I listen to religiously and have met twice now at BlizzCon. \r\rLike a lot of my peers, I grew up in an era where playing video games, collecting action figures, and running DnD campaigns were not things that the cool kids did. That all changed rapidly as my generation grew older. Now we have massive brands like WoW, Star Wars, and Marvel which target people just like us (and make a ton of money from it). Even though it\u2019s now en vogue to be a sci-fi\/comic\/fantasy\/game fan, I still wasn\u2019t happy with the styles of art being used for posters or apparel. It\u2019s not really my thing to wear a shirt with an airbrushed (albeit, beautiful) high-fantasy character on it. I\u2019m more into minimalist, subtle, clean lines and clever meanings.\r\rMy art focuses on trying to transform the games and genres we love into modern\/chic posters and apparel. I like making designs that have hidden meanings, where you only get the visual reference if you\u2019re a fan. I like twisting the typical fantasy aesthetic and deconstructing it into the simplest shapes possible. \r\rWhere you can find more about the artist\r\rDCMJS Site\rTwitter of DCMJS\rDCMJS Etsy Shop\rDCMJS Redbubble\rDCMJS Teepublic\r\rDCMJS is mostly known for his unique minimalist style and designing his graphics with a hidden meaning to those who are truly fans of the franchise. \r\r\r\r\r\r\r\rGiveaway\r\rNote: this giveaway has ended.

Definitely like that minimalist vibe going on there, certainly not what you expect from fanart

Minimalist style is always the best the kind of style and I love just how well the artist does it!

Absolutely fell in love with the minimalist posters and branding campaigns for the different specs the first time I saw them. I really like the artifact poster as well!

I like the stylish marketing design it has. It's pretty trendy looking.

I've been in love with the artwork of DCMJS for awhile now thanks to their early on reddit posts. It's simplistic but is understood really well at a quick glance which is key.

I love the spec phone decal & stickers -- would love to see some mistweaver ones -- I'd plaster them all over my stuff! :)

The minimalist styles are amazing.\rI have some minimalist star wars tattoos and a couple of these WoW ones would look great too!

This guy has great ability to bring the core out of a subject and be very identifiable. Really enjoy his photoshopped nature pics as takes on the zones. Very nice work.

I've seen the destination posters before but I never knew who the original artist was, those just speak to my fantasy travel nature--just such inspirational pieces! Elwynn and Wandering Isle are my top two. Extra love for the shaman minimalist art!

Everything is amazing but that guardian jeans tag must be my favorite, I can't quite say why though.

I just love how he cleverly mixes humor into his art and maintains a clean, calming appearance across such a large variety of mediums. :)My favorite is the brewmaster "made with the purest chi since 2012" and "must have all of your shots up-to-date" Gilneas poster haha!Also really cool that he's the creative director at the U.S. Department of the Treasury! Who knew we had such awesome people in DC?

I love the minimalism he uses in his designs. I actually use his Racial Icon Screensavers for my desktop background. It's nice to wake up to the view of green Stormwind plains in the morning.

Overall, he has a fun style. My favorite, though, are the spec posters. I would love to have a resto druid and BM hunter (my mains) set for my computer room.
